About this episode
Dale Earnhardt Jr. kicks off the Download season with a bang by welcoming back NASCAR Hall of Fame car owner Richard Childress to the Dirty Mo Media studio. After what was essentially a hometown race for Childress at Bowman Gray Stadium, the two were eager to talk about the Clash and their impressions of the NASCAR Cup Series returning to the legendary venue. Childress explains that he showed up early on Sunday to sit and reflect on the beginning of his racing career, which dates back to the “claim” division at the football stadium when he was in his teens. In anticipation of his debut as Cup car owner, Dale Jr. asks Richard for any advice leading into the Daytona 500, to which he replies to keep following the dream. Dale and Richard talk about RCR working with Kyle Busch and how they were able to put their past drama behind them to find on-track success. Dale also inquires about Austin and Ty Dillon’s roles at the company and what the future may hold for them beyond the driver’s seat. They chat about the ongoing lawsuit between 23XI/Front Row Motorsports & NASCAR and what the other teams hope to gain in the new charter agreement. The conversation also covers Kasey Kahne’s upcoming Xfinity race with RCR, how Richard got the number 3, and his brief history working as a stuntman. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
